Facilities
This park serves as an important recreational linkage between Brightsand River Provincial Park, Kopka Lake Provincial Park, and the Lake Nipigon Basin. The Boreal Forest characterizes the park. The height of land weaves around Kashishibog Lake and hence Forest Regions of Canada separates the area into two forest sections; Upper English River and Central Plateau. Extensive sand and gravel deposits and low rock outcrops provide a favorable environment for the prevalent jack pine and in the shallow swamps, black spruce.
Park Facilities: There are no visitor facilities, the park does include portages and points of interest.
Location: Obonga-Ottertooth Provincial Park stretches 100 km along a system of lakes and rivers from Obonga Lake in the east to Kashishibog Lake in the west, approximately 200 km north of Thunder Bay.
